So, I've got new colors and a new layout on the blog, and I am digging it! It is a simple frame, and simple, clean colors. Needed to spruce things up and "change the furniture". Ever get that urge? ;o)
The last two days have been glorious. Hot, sunny, and breezy in the evening. Swimming in the pool, playing with the kids, neighbors running all around. It is certainly the summer and the games have begun! (shhhhh .... I've been playing a wee bit 'o hookie the last two days .... working from home.)
I have a budding chef, folks. How about that?! I love eating, no doubt. Big fan of a yummy home cooked-by someone else-meal, however, enjoy dabbling in the kitchen myself. BUT, oh, the giddy joy, my 5 year old is a big, huge, excited fan of cooking shows! :O) YAY!
I always knew my kids would surprise me in SO many ways ... C was a sports watching infant. I mean, captivated by the sports on TV. Never watched kiddie shows save the occassional Baby Einstein video (gasp! yes, VIDEO) but he stopped in his tracks to find focus on anything sports, and rightfully so, he is a sportsman to the *inth* degree now ......
So, my thinking is this - if K is feeling her mojoe with the cooking shows, perhaps I can nurture this and be very, very well fed in just a coupe of years???? It is a reflective moment, yes? She asks me at least 10 times a day "mommy, what show is on Food Network now?" My answer ... "uhm, don't know that schedule well yet" (but I am LEARNING!) "I'll check it out ..." She even asked daddy to TiVo her 6-7 PM show tonight before he left for his babseball game. Can you imagine?
Oh, I am all tingly thinking about the delicious yummies! :)
So, this Friday we head out for vacation to Maine for an extended weekend. Sean is playing in a babseball tourney that he has for the last 6 years or so. It's a great excuse to head back to his home town and see the posse, hang with the kids, and spend some quality time in an amazing state. We then have taken the next week off for vacation. Sean needs it BADLY. Time for a breather from work! He is anxious to get his new adventure off the ground, and next week will be the perfect time to focus on that.
K and I then head to NYC the following Friday for a dance competition (and now coined "Girls Town" weekend) with my nieces. My oldest niece is competing for National Dance Champion. She has an amazing shot for it, but the competitors are tough at this one as they are from all over the country, and all Title Holders. Keep your fingers crossed ..... K has requested just one thing (well, besides oohing over her cousin K that is!) to go to the American Girl Doll store. When I mentioned that to someone else who has been there, she looked at me and said "bring the bank". Ugh.
But really, it is so fun to just have girl time, and be away with her. It's neat too, because this is only one of our traditions. The others are birthday related, and of course holiday time related with just she and I.
C and I need to find a few more now that I think of it.
National K day. National C day. My friend Fransie had these days for her kids (with their name of course) and I loved that idea!
So, that's all for now .....
good night!

Hey, I really like the look! And I am SO LOL at the cooking shows thing - Molly *loves* them - just discovered them last week and now we can't get enough. How cool is that?
Sounds like a lot of fun coming up. I've tried (I don't know why!) to get M interested in the AG dolls; she has zero interest. I think my wallet is grateful. ;)
Have a great girls' weekend. :D
natuional M, R and F day are rapidly approaching in fact (during summer break).
That AG doll store sounds like a very, very dangerous place :p. Then again, i'll be taking M to build-a-bear soon, and I hear that's quite the temptation too :)
